I fully agree. Just tried one out 2 weeks ago to compare against my Analogman BicompROSSer, and honestly, I like Keeley's better. Much quieter, too, I found. The only reason I'm keeping Mike's is because I like having both the Juicer AND compressor in one unit, and even though ideally I'd like to have just the Juicer and a Keeley comp, I can't really afford it at this point. Though after just saying that, I'm tempted to send the Bicomp back in exchange for the Juicer and just say "fuck it". That is if Mike will take it back.....just emailed him so we'll see. Either way, for $240, I'd go w/ Keeley.

I have a Boss CS2. I like it a lot. Its very transparent, and sustains til the cows come home.
Supossedly the older CS2 is gads better than the current CS3. Gilmore used one. I got mine cheap on ebay. I think like 40 bucks or so. Not quite the Trey squishiness that some people want. For that a Ross or the the AM comprosser. They are not as transparent, but thats what gives that Trey sound.
I can get close enough. I really dont try to sound like Trey, so thats not a feature I need. It rounds out my Qtron and gives me feed back and sustain.
Some boss pedals are great and some arent. This one is great IMO.
